On a dark desert highway,
cool wind in my hair
Wa rm smell of colitas
ri sing up through the air
Up ahead in the distance,
G＃
I saw a shimmering light
B♭m
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
An d I was thinking to myself
This could be he aven or this could be hell
Th en she lit up a candle,
G＃
and she showed me the way
B♭m7
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say
We lcome to the Hotel California.
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
Th ere's Plenty of room
at the Hotel California
Anyti me of year,(anytime of year)
You can find us here...
Her mind is Tiffany twisted,
She got a mercedes benz
Sh e got alot of pretty pretty boys
th at she calls friends
Ho w they danced in the court
yard sweet summer sweat
So me dance to remember some dance to forget
So I called up the captain
Please bring me my wine (he said)
We haven't had that spirit here since 19 69
an d still those voice are
calling from far away
B♭m7
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
We lcome to the Hotel California.
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
C＃
They livin' it up at the
Hotel California
Wh at a nice surprise,
br ing your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling the pink
champagne on ice (an she said)
We are all just prisoners here ,
of our own device
an d in the master's chambers,
G＃
They gathered for the feast
The y stab it with their steely knives
but they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember,
I was running for the door
I had find the passage back to the pl ace
I was before
'R elax' said the night man;
G＃
we are programmed to receive
B♭m7
You can check out anytime you like
But you can never leave
We lcome to the Hotel California.
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
Th ere's Plenty of room at the
Hotel California
What a n ice surprise; bring your alibis
